A recent year-end industry leader's dialogue revealed a lot of valuable insights worth pondering.

Speaking of the current key areas of focus, it mainly includes these aspects—free education platforms have attracted 90,000 students, financing funds recently completed a $1 billion funding round covering nearly 70 projects, and the role of ecosystem mentors continues to play a part. At the same time, regulatory cooperation is being promoted in multiple countries, and this pace is quite steady.

The data from BNB Chain is indeed eye-catching: transaction volume has increased by 600% year-over-year, with 2.4 million daily active users, and the entire ecosystem user base has already exceeded 200 million. The person in charge openly stated that there is still several orders of magnitude growth potential for crypto market capitalization, and this judgment is backed by confidence in the maturity of infrastructure.

A noteworthy shift in investment mindset is happening—moving from race-style competition to open collaboration. Financing funds do not pursue exclusive partnerships; the core focus is on the team’s ability to quickly adapt to market changes. Interestingly, they have positioned the 2026 World Cup as a development milestone for the industry.

New narratives are taking shape: Stablecoin 2.0 has integrated liquidity and compliance; RWA (Real-World Assets) directly anchors national-level financing pathways and connects with the digitalization needs of assets in multiple countries; the AI trading agent concept is heading towards personalized solutions rather than a one-size-fits-all system.

In the long run, BNB Chain is playing a marathon game. Some compare its growth curve to Nvidia’s 40-year development—most people didn’t understand the first 20 to 30 years, but the final results speak for themselves. Such perseverance is indeed rare in the crypto space. The signals from the entire industry are also very clear: moving from disorderly expansion to structured narratives like RWA, AI, and stablecoins is an inevitable evolutionary process.
